    Fed X has my boots. They should have delivered yesterday to CO, but they're still on their Tour of Oregon 2022:

    1/4 - Troutdale, OR
    1/5 - Troutdale, OR
    1/5 - Corbett, OR
    1/6 - Wasco, OR
    1/7 - Pendleton, OR

    Looking forward to see where they're at tomorrow.

    I was in a queue (Bitdefender, BTW) the other day, I kid you not, where the message was repeated after about 4 seconds of "hold" music. The entire loop was like ~24 seconds total.

    I've seen crazy loops but that was the most extreme example ever. I was on hold for an 1:20, and I calculate that I heard that "high call volume" message like 240 times.

    There are few things that grate on one’s nerves more than this. Try calling home fucking depot and you get that annoying phone voice guy giving you the Covid talk, the children are our future builders talk and goddammit I wanna jump out my window.

    Edit to add: Yes I understand these are very very much first world problems and I have an extremely short fuse. All that not with standing

    Why not just buy two LT truck tires in an appropriate weight rating for your trailer, and use those instead of ST tires?

    They really need to work on coming up with better excuses.
    Now, now. Their menu options have recently changed. It's probably just people calling in again and again after failing to navigate the new menu maze

    no it's not, he has a missing tire did you look at the pic and see he said a proper spare is out of stock? Have you ever changed a trailer spare on a busy road? Not fun.


    People who say "could be worse!" to any problem is annoying as hell IMO. Especially in a "Shit that annoys you" thread - this is exactly where it belongs.

    Three weeks in a row recycling pickup has been cancelled. Christmas, Omicron, and now snow in the mid-Atlantic have been the excuses by DPW.

    The real annoyance here is having to use the drop-off site tomorrow morning and wait in line like a fucking plebe.

    We had a stretch of 6 weeks of no recycling back in 2006 due to a series of storms in December. We had just SHITLOADS all over the place.

    Actually it did brighten my mood, especially the comment that the trailer could have lost control which would have been worse.

    And yes the sled laps made up for the bullshit tire situation. Went to 5 shops along my drive. No one has one. Amazon it is

    My wife does that shit all the time, it drives me nuts. "Well sure, we wrecked the car, the dog's dead, and we're bankrupt, but we're still alive and the sun's coming out, let's be positive!"

    Annoying as fuck.

    Shit that annoys you

    I’ll be shocked if I don’t get COVID from the 1:15-1:30 hour wait in a line indoors for my season pass pickup today. What the actual fuck!?! There is not a single possible reasonable reason they weren’t able to pre-print them. Best part was I went up last weekend (no snow, so no skiing) and guest services was closed, despite claiming to be open.

    But he DID go snowmobiling. I went to work. I would trade changing tire and snowmobiling for work.

    Also. It curbside tire, so not as bad to change.

    Everyone is on edge or sick. The tension is completely visible. Another damn round of this shit is annoying as fuck.

    Same here; recycling, trash and green. Holidays and storms. Recycling still hasn’t been picked up since before Xmas. But the PU really fucked up the management of the issue….

    They pushed out a notice that you could put your overflow in the alley with your cans. So everybody stacked bags in the alleys. In addition to the missed pickups, Everyone had extra recycling (gift wrap) and extra green (trees and greenery). So when the trucks could finally get through they loaded up quick and missed about half their route. Now everyone’s shit has been in the alleys for two weeks and the raccoons make a pass through every night and rip it up… it looks like Dharavi Mumbai.

    PU should have just assigned some dates and ground rules for free drop off at the local transfer station…
